I dyed these boiled eggs by standing them vertically in small cups of dye. Then I typed up the labels and printed them on ink jet temporary tattoo paper. Remember to print the words backwards! I used Silhouette brand tattoo paper I bought at my local PaperSource, but you can also get similar stuff from DecalPaper.com. I matched the color numbers using my chip book. Knowing they were correct gave me great inner satisfaction.

:DEvery year we start with lines and stripes on Easter eggs, but we never end with it. We created "Letraset-eggs" or "Keith Haring-eggs" for example but your idea is something new, worth to try, great.

Brilliant! :) Just wanted to let you know that your cool Pantone eggs have been featured in my Easter roundup! http://mijbilcreatures.blogspot.se/2013/03/diy-easter-projects-roundup-2013.htmlMany thanks for sharing, and big hugs from Sweden! :)

White eggs are more common here than brown. I'm afraid you will have to get eggs laid by different chickens! I forget now whether I used standard food coloring (like for coloring frosting) or an actual Easter egg dye kit with the tablets that dissolve in water and vinegar. We can purchase egg dye kits here at Easter time that are super cheap.
